- We really should have named Moonshine MoonMoon.
- This morning, he chewed up the garden hose (again), destroyed all of the buckets that Irish Woman uses to harvest from the garden, and pulled out and chewed up one of our 10 year old grave vines.
- No, he’s fine and perfectly safe. He’s lucky he’s so affectionate and entertaining.
- Strawberry and cherry harvesting continues.
- The cherries will be done in a couple of days. Cherry cobbler is in my immediate future.
- The early strawberries will probably be done tomorrow. In a couple of weeks, the ginormous June berries should start rolling in.
- It’s never a good sign when I think I need a cup of coffee at 11 PM on a Sunday night.
- Then again, I’m getting paid to watch paint dry, so it’s not that bad.
- Reading from fast storage, then writing the extracted data to slow storage takes a lot longer than reading from slow storage and then writing the extracted data to fast storage.
- Apparently Girlie Bear went rappelling today. Since she’s afraid of heights, that had to be interesting.
- Note to authors – When you put a book into e-book format, especially one that is a compilation of your short stories, please put in the extra time to get a working table of contents in before you put it out on Amazon. Some of us don’t enjoy wading through the entire book to find that particular part we want to read.
- I’m going to suggest that my ranges either sell or rent inexpensive high-necked tee shirts to ladies who come to shoot with low-cut blouses. Or heck, even guys who have an open collared shirt for that matter. Seems to me that they’d be just as necessary a piece of safety equipment as eye protection on the firing line.
- It appears that my cable company is switching over its systems to those of its new owners, causing random outages of television and/or data service at odd hours.
- This is an inconvenience to most people, but when you’re trying to work remote from the office in the late evening/middle of the night, it’s a royal pain in the butt.
- I spent precisely 0 minutes this weekend working on home projects, and it was very nice.
- It’s amazing how political differences are (temporarily) forgotten when everyone’s bulls are getting gored at the same time.
- Between the IRS, AP, FoxNews, and the NSA things, I’ve seen so many people, who normally wouldn’t agree on the color of the sky, singing the same song it sounds like a Coca-Cola commercial.
- Now if we can just get a powerful Democrat senator to play Goldwater to Obama’s Nixon, we’ll see some real progress.

/ June 9, 2013Please tell me Amazon didn’t mess up the formatting on one of my two short story compilations…please, please tell me it was somebody else’s work.

/ June 9, 2013No, it wasn’t one of yours. I’d have contacted you directly. This is an author who had a long and successful career in paper books, and has had a lot of his work converted over to digital. I’ve dropped a note to the publisher about it.

/ June 10, 2013That’s a relief–thanks. I haven’t checked out how my stuff looks/works on Kindle, other than the “look inside” feature.

/ June 10, 2013Whenever I invite anyone to the range, I always add a collared and buttonable shirt and closed shoes to my list of requirements (along with hat and water bottle).
Hot brass down your front isn’t fun … (and I know that from experience)!

/ June 10, 2013A couple years ago I got one down the collar of my shirt, in the BACK of my neck. Left a blister but I’m happy to say that I didn’t lose control of myself or my weapon. I’m more careful now.
I’m at the point that when I see cleavage showing at the range, I either move away (if I can) or pack up and leave. In the past five years, I’ve watched enough people lose control of their firearms that I’m not interested in being around them. I wish people would self police so that the range didn’t have to provide shirts (great idea, BTW) or have a dress code.
